"Includes 486 nursing interventions that describe the treatments nurses perform to provide a comprehensive approach to nursing practice; presents with each intervention a label name, definition, a list of activities the nurse does to implement the intervention, and background reading for clinical utility; includes the full range of nursing interventions - physiologic and psychosocial; illness treatment and prevention; health promotion; individual, group, family, and community; indirect and direct care; and independent and collaborative interventions - for use in all practice and educational settings; and features a section that links NIC interventions to NANDA diagnoses to promote clinical decision making."--BOOK JACKET.
